[1] October 15, 2026 – FDA enforcement information associated with the action identifies the mixed-nuts recall as Class I and terminated.

[2]

December 2025

December 5, 2025 – FDA posted Mellace Family Brands California, Inc.’s recall announcement for Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted in 34-ounce tubs and 11.5-ounce bags because the products could contain Salmonella. The company reported that no illnesses associated with consumption of the products had been reported at that time. [1]

What Is the Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted Recall?

The recall involves two sizes of Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted produced by Mellace Family Brands California, Inc. of Warren, Ohio. The action began after routine supplier testing detected Salmonella in a lot of raw pistachios. Investigators determined that those pistachios had been used in the affected Wegmans mixed-nut products.

Which Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted Products Were Recalled?

FDA identifies two affected products:
  • Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted, 34 oz (964 grams), packaged in a plastic tub
  • Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted, 11.5 oz (326 grams), packaged in a plastic bag
The recall applies only to the specified UPCs, lot codes, and best-by dates. Other Wegmans mixed-nut products are not included merely because they share the brand name.

How Can I Identify the Recalled Mixed Nuts?

The recalled 34-ounce tub has UPC 077890421314, lot code 58041, and a best-by date of July 28, 2026. The lot code and best-by information appear on the side of the tub above the nutrition label. The recalled 11.5-ounce bag has UPC 077890421352, lot code 58171, and a best-by date of August 10, 2026. The identifying information appears on the back of the bag below the nutrition label.

Why Were Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted Recalled?

The recall was initiated after routine supplier testing found Salmonella in one lot of raw pistachios. The supplier determined that those pistachios had been used to manufacture the affected Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted products, creating a potential Salmonella exposure risk.

Where Were the Recalled Mixed Nuts Sold?

The recalled products were sold at Wegmans stores between November 3 and December 1, 2025. FDA identifies distribution in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

Were Any Illnesses Reported?

No illnesses associated with consumption of the recalled Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted products had been reported when the recall was announced. FDA’s current recall notice continues to state that no illnesses associated with consumption of the affected products were reported.

What Is Salmonella?

Salmonella is a group of bacteria capable of causing an intestinal infection known as salmonellosis. People generally become infected by swallowing the bacteria in contaminated food, water, or through contact with contaminated environments. Foodborne Salmonella can affect otherwise healthy people but may cause more serious illness in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. [3]

What Are the Symptoms of Salmonella Infection?

Common symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Nausea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal symptoms can also occur. Symptoms generally begin six hours to six days after infection and typically last four to seven days. [4]

Can Salmonella Cause Serious Complications?

Most people recover without specific treatment, but some infections become severe enough to require hospitalization. Salmonella can occasionally spread beyond the intestines to the bloodstream or other parts of the body, potentially producing more serious medical complications.

Why Can Salmonella Be a Concern in Nuts?

Nuts are shelf-stable foods, but contamination can occur during agricultural production, handling, storage, or processing. If contaminated raw ingredients enter a finished product without an effective control step, Salmonella may remain in the packaged food. In this recall, the identified concern involved raw pistachios used as an ingredient in the mixed nuts.

What Should Consumers Do With Recalled Wegmans Mixed Nuts?

Consumers should not eat packages matching the recalled UPC, lot code, and best-by date. FDA’s recall announcement states that affected products may be returned to the Wegmans service desk for a full refund. Consumers with questions can contact Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663.

Who May Be Affected?

Consumers who purchased and ate one of the two recalled Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted products may have been exposed to potentially contaminated pistachios. A person who subsequently developed medically documented salmonellosis may want to preserve the package, purchase records, lot information, remaining product, laboratory results, and medical records.

What Evidence May Matter in a Wegmans Mixed Nuts Claim?

  • The original tub or bag
  • The UPC and lot code
  • The best-by date
  • Wegmans receipt or loyalty-account purchase history
  • Photographs of the affected packaging
  • Dates the mixed nuts were consumed
  • Laboratory results confirming Salmonella infection
  • Medical records and documented expenses
Foodborne-illness claims generally require evidence connecting the affected product with the diagnosed infection and resulting damages.

Who May Be Liable for a Salmonella Mixed Nuts Illness?

Potential liability depends on the circumstances and applicable law. Manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, processors, distributors, retailers, and other businesses in the supply chain may potentially be evaluated when allegedly contaminated food causes illness. A recall does not by itself establish negligence or civil liability. Product identification, exposure, causation, injury, and legally recoverable damages generally require individual evaluation.

Current Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted Lawsuit and Recall Status

FDA currently states that the Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted recall has been completed and terminated. Available enforcement information also identifies the action as a terminated Class I recall. An October 2026 status review considered later recall, regulatory, safety, litigation, and settlement developments. The materials reviewed did not identify a later FDA recall expansion, new FDA safety warning, nationwide MDL proceeding, or coordinated personal-injury settlement involving these specific products. Individual legal review may nevertheless be appropriate when a consumer develops laboratory-confirmed salmonellosis after eating mixed nuts traceable to an affected lot.

Do I Qualify for a Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted Claim?

  • Did you eat Wegmans Deluxe Mixed Nuts Unsalted from one of the recalled lots?
  • Does your package match UPC 077890421314 or 077890421352 and the corresponding affected lot?
  • Were you diagnosed with Salmonella or treated for gastrointestinal illness after eating the product?
  • Can you document the purchase, exposure, medical treatment, or resulting financial losses?
Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can review product identification, medical evidence, causation, damages, and applicable filing deadlines.
  1. Free case review. An attorney reviews the recalled product, exposure history, illness, and available documentation.
  2. Investigation. Evidence may include packaging, purchase records, lot information, medical records, laboratory results, and recall documentation.
  3. Filing. If the evidence and applicable law support a claim, a foodborne-illness lawsuit may be filed against one or more potentially responsible parties.
  4. Discovery/negotiation. The parties may exchange records, obtain testimony, consult medical or food-safety experts, and discuss possible resolution.
  5. Resolution. A case may conclude through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial depending on its facts.

Compensation in a Salmonella Foodborne Illness Case

Depending on the circumstances, damages may include emergency care, diagnostic testing, hospitalization, medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, future healthcare needs, and other losses permitted under applicable law. Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
